I'm running dhcpd on a mandrake 7.2 box and having some client side weirdness. Basically, if I boot a client machine into linux, it gets the IP address just fine. If I boot into Win98SE, it never gets the address. /var/log/messages on the server shows that it gets DHCPDISCOVER requests and replies to them with DHCPOFFER replies, but the windoews box doesn't seem to get them! :( ~ Deepak -- Deepak Saxena - deepak@csociety.purdue.edu - phone://602.790.0500 "It is dangerous to confuse children with angels" - Magnolia
